HPE Discover 2026: Autonomous Networks, AI Agents, Supercomputers

Hewlett Packard Enterprise will use HPE Discover 2026, held June 15–18 at the Venetian Conference Center in Las Vegas, to present developments in autonomous networking, AI agents and high-performance computing. CEO Antonio Neri will open the week with a keynote on Tuesday, June 16 at 9:00 a.m. PT; official product announcements are scheduled after the keynote.

One conference theme is the integration of Juniper Networks technology into HPE’s Aruba networking portfolio following HPE’s acquisition of Juniper. HPE announced in May that it is moving from concept to product with fully autonomous, agent-powered AIOps networking. Rami Rahim, executive vice president and head of networking at HPE, has described the network shift as one that moves from informing teams to taking actions on their behalf, allowing networking staff to focus on innovation rather than routine operations. HPE’s program lists sessions and customer examples tied to that work.

High-performance computing will appear in the agenda. HPE supplies hardware for many of the world’s largest systems: six of the top 10 machines on the November 2025 Top500 list ran on HPE Cray equipment. Scott Atchley, chief technology officer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is scheduled to speak during Tuesday afternoon sessions. The company’s materials note the company’s Cray lineage and mark the anniversary of the first Cray system coming online.

AI agents and private cloud offerings are included in session tracks. HPE’s GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform is expected to anchor demonstrations of agent-driven workflows and private cloud services that keep sensitive data on-premises while enabling AI functions. HPE introduced the AMD Helios rack in 2025 for cloud service providers and neoclouds; the conference program lists talks on hardware options for cloud and AI workloads.

The agenda also includes discussion of the financial effects of deploying AI agents, including token-based cost models and the compute and budget pressures agents can place on IT departments. Speakers and panels will address whether current hardware and pricing models match those pressures.

Attendees at Discover 2026 will include HPE executives, customers, partners and industry technologists. The Partner Growth Summit is scheduled for Monday before the main conference. The program combines product updates, customer case studies and technical sessions that examine how networking automation, private cloud strategy and high-performance computing intersect in enterprise AI projects.
